Offset or even?

[H3Wolf]

So I built a carrier for my 5gal water can (on accident). Now it's mounted on the back. After I mounted it I came to realize that the other one would have to be lower on the account of the door handle. Not what I meant by on accident is that use the water can as measurements for what was supposed to be the fuel can carrier but the fuel can carrier is a tiny bit bigger then the water can they're both 5-gallon though. So my question is what do you guys think, should I make the other one and leave them off set or should I make the other one mounted and take the first one off and reset it to where it's the same height? I'm also considering about switching it the carriers around to where the fuel one is on the driver side and water one is on the passenger side.

Have you considered offsetting it backwards, i.e. leaving space for the handle? I don't know if that would work, but could be worth considering. Might be too tough to reach the handle. Is that can just mounted with those two arms? That looks like it could bounce and/or flex and bang against the door. That's lot of leverage on those two brackets. 50ish lbs hanging out out there.

Yea, the second would be under the handle. And the first would be either at where it is or lower, and it has another bar behind it were the bottom wraps the bottom part of the door. Hasn't bounced around almost at all. I even have the 5 gallon filled with water and it's been good. Also just in case it does lossen up I have a type of padding on the back of the framing. This weekend I might work on putting more strength to it.

I came up with a better and stronger design, and it's coming along better then before. Hit a slight stumbling block. Burnt out the drill bit so tomorrow it should be finished. I will take pictures

I decided to go with they both be at the same height and made a new change to the frame design with some padding for the door

I'm confused... Is one gas and one water? Because the same color can is really a bad way to go and could lead to confusion in the future. I'm guessing your going to demarcate the gas one?

 

[H3Wolf]

Yes, one is gas and the other is water. The gas has 3 handles on top and the water has one handle.

Also the Water can has a different style of lid (Has a vent)

 

[H3Wolf]

And the sides are labeled

And one smells like gasoline when you open it.... that should be all a guy needs! lol

"H3Wolf, this water tastes like gasoline!"

Then you find out someone used the water can to fill up their gas tank! :giggle:

 

[H3Wolf]

Haha, then two get screwed the one who has water in their gas tank and the other has a belly full of gas, and I'll sitting there laughing my ass off.
